THUNDER BAY — It's unclear why, but there's been a steady decline in usage at many of the city's 39 outdoor rink sites.The city is giving residents living near 11 sites that are on the watchlist two seasons to show why they should remain open or not be downgraded.At all locations between Feb. 1 and Feb. 21 a third-party contractor will collect data for the city by counting the number of people at the rinks.
Unboarded/unsupervised, and recommended to be closed– Woodside Parkette, Anten Parkette, Picton Parkette, Franklin Park, Holt Parkette Boarded/Supervised, and recommended to be downgraded to unsupervised – Waddington Park, Oliver Road Park, Frank Charry ParkWeekday counts will happen from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., while weekend counts will take place between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.No counts will be done when the temperature is below -15 C, when rinks are snow-covered or while they are being flooded.
He said he's unsure why the usage at so many sites is trending downward, but speculates that youths have the option of pursuing more activities than they used to, including on their electronic devices.
